Patriotic

Nothing rings in July like a (really bright) red, white and blue quilt. This quilt is a twin size, 60" x 80" with 48 star blocks. I think this might even be the 1st star quilt I’ve posted on this blog…or 2nd…beats me.

Either way I love it and all its blindingly bright goodness. It’s chocked full of different fabrics so I’m not going to attempt naming them all…not that I know all of them (I do). Now to finish this in time for the 4th of July!

*if you want to know what a particular fabric is…email me…cause if you are a no-reply blogger I can’t reply! :)

I am totally going to have to borrow this idea. I love the traditional blocks, as most of the quilting that I have done has been more modern. My mother in law loves anything red,white,and blue. Is there a particular tutorial for the block or a standard name of the star block you used?

oh i love it!! the 4th of july is my FAVORITE holiday... i am also curious as to how to make the star block... i'm sure there is a slick method that you used :) i just bought some red white and blue fabric and now i think i need to buy some more :) how much fabric do you think you used? so pretty
